At around 11pm on Saturday, May 23, police were called to Tichborne Grove, Leigh Park.

There, officers found a man and a woman who both had stab wounds.

George Allison, 21 from Riders Lane, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Hayley Batchelor, 33 from Havant, has been charged with assisting an offender, and will appear at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on August 27.

‘He is Kevin Joseph Batchelor, aged 25 years, of East Hill, Cambourne, Cornwall.’

Two further men, Barry Baker, 38, of Oracle Drive, Waterlooville, and Lewis Turner, 32, of Camelford, Cornwall, were charged with assisting an offender.
